This creamy lube tastes slightly bitter but contains no sugar or glycerin; making it a good choice for women concerned about yeast over-growth. Liquid Silk is long lasting and dries without becoming tacky.
Like everyone else here, I used liquid silk and loved it. That is, until I researched it's ingredients and discovered that what they call BNPD, is actually 2-BROMO-2-NITROPROPANE-1,3-DIOL and is incredibly toxic. It is so bad it's actually banned by Health Canada in amounts of over .1% which liquid silk exceeds! I don't know how this product is actually imported into this country, it's illegal to do so. Liquid silk is one of the most toxic lubes on the market and should not be sold anywhere, ever.
Yes, Liquid Silk contains BNPD, since it's a widely used anti microbial agent soluble in water. BNDP is not toxic by itself. Now, when BNPD decomposes under certain conditions of alkalinity and temperature, it produces nitrosamines (nitrates and formaldehyde that interact with aminoacids). Nitrosamines are known carcinogens. BNDP was widely used in the 80's for cosmetics, but it's use has declined. Where and how did you get the figure of BNDP concentration on the product? Neither the manufacturer or the webistes list it. Niether I found BNDP in the banned product database for Health Canada.

This is my favourite water-based lube, hands down. A little goes a long way and it doesn't get tacky like other water-based lubes. Great for anal play, not great for oral—tastes a bit bitter. Overall, a very good lube.

i love this lube! it is so smooth, feels nice on your skin, and doesn't get tacky as it dries. you don't need to use a whole lot, but occasional re-applications are lovely. i have very sensitive skin and am prone to yeast infections, and this hasn't bothered me in the slightest. it makes using my hand about a million times nicer than with other lubes or no lube, and it's great for partner sex as well.

My partner and I have used this lube for almost 5 years. It's very slippery, though it can be a little runny. If you use too much, just wipe it on a leg and it gets absorbed or evaporates...we can't decide which! The taste leaves a little to be desired, so it's not great to use then engage in oral sex; but overall it's a good lube.
